VPS і виділені сервери (Мої сервери) Довідка

Which features does my Self Managed/Managed/Fully Managed server offer?

Our servers (both VPS and dedicated) come in three flavors, depending on the support and features you need:

Self Managed Servers are for the pros among us who want as much control as possible. These are great if you're comfortable with shell prompts and are a seasoned administrator.

Managed Servers were created with most customers in mind. They offer the power of a server, as well as the ease of managing your server through a control panel. However, it's still significantly more complicated than something like a WYSIWYG program like Website Builder.

Fully Managed Servers give GoDaddy the responsibility of managing and maintaining your server. You're still responsible for the sites you want to host on the server, but we take care of pretty much everything else.

Feature Definitions

Get hip to our lingo...(that's what the kids say these days, right?)

Patching

When security vulnerabilities are patched, it's important to get them on your server as soon as possible. Using automatic patching, your server leverages the patching tools available through its operating system or control panel to update potentially problematic elements quickly.

Root Access

To install software on your server through the command line or other administrator-level tasks, you'll probably need root access. Unless you're familiar with controlling your server via command line, we don't recommend using it though; it's much easier to break your server using the power root access gives you than it is to use the same privileges to fix it.

Control Panels

Manging your server can much more straightforward with a control panel, which creates a user interface to complete administrator-level tasks like creating FTP users and adding websites to your server. Without a control panel, you can only manage your server via command line.

Backups: On-Demand

You've seen those warnings where we say, "We recommend backing up your server before making these changes." This is that backup. Create one backup and restore your server to it if things don't work out like you anticipated.

Application Manager

Installing applications like WordPress or Drupal grows increasingly tedious the more often you do it. With an application manager, you'll have a vast library of apps from which to choose, as well as the tools for features like automatic updates and relocating the application on your server.

Migrations from Shared Hosting

Upgrading from shared hosting to a server has a lot of benefits, but if you were apprehensive about moving your site, our migration tool makes it really easy. With nothing more than a few clicks, we sweep your old shared hosting account up into your server and set everything up for you.

Right now, this feature is available only for cPanel/Linux accounts, but we will add the features for Plesk soon.

Expert Services (ES)

Much like contracting out your home remodeling efforts, our server admins are available to spruce up/patch/overhaul components of your server. We have the entire list available in our Expert Services Menu.
